SECTION ONE - PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

I. THE ROLE OF A BRANDT LM-3 FULL-FLO SHAKER

The BRANDT LM-3 Full-Flo shaker is a fine screen linear motion shaker. The shaker is
almost always located at the flow line unless it is preceded by a “scalping” or gumbo shaker.
The LM3 removes a large percent of drill cuttings before the mud is circulated through the
surface mud system leading to improved performance of downstream solid control equipment.

II. HOW THE BRANDT LM-3 FULL-FLO SHAKER WORKS

The BRANDT LM-3 Full-Flo Shaker is designed to do two primary jobs. It will separate
drilled solids from the mud and transport these solids rapidly and efficiently off the screens by
the means of linear motion.

III. VIBRATOR SYSTEM

The motor, twin-toothed timing belt, shafts, bearings, and counterweights make up this unique
system. The shafts and their counterweights rotate in opposite directions causing the shaker
basket to vibrate in a linear motion. It is this motion that transports the solids uphill and off the
screens. The inclined basket also allows for longer liquid retention time on the screen resulting
in drier solids and increased feed rates. See Figure 1. The basket motion has been carefully
designed to give the unit optimum performance over a wide range of drilling conditions.

IV. BASKET TILTING SYSTEM

The BRANDT LM-3 Full-Flo Shaker is equipped with a unique basket tilting mechanism
providing up to a five degree inclination for fluid retention. Adjustments to basket inclination
can be made during operation by using a screw jack that is integral to the support brackets
located on each side of the discharge end. See Figure 2. Base support brackets have special
safety pins which also act as degree indicators.

V. SCREEN TENSIONING SYSTEM

The BRANDT LM-3 Full-Flo Shaker is equipped with standard tension bolts or a quick-
release screen tensioning called Quik Lok II. The standard is designed to allow removal of
screen panels from the shaker without completely disassembling the bolt, nut, and spacer
combination. The Quik Lok II is a rapid release device that requires only wrench tensioning.
See Figure 3 and 4.

SECTION TWO - RECEIVING

Carefully check for any damage to the unit(s) or loss of parts. A claim for damage or loss should
be reported to the carrier. A bill of lading has been signed by the transportation company
insuring that all items were received in good condition. Any discrepancies or shortages not
appearing on the bill of lading should be reported immediately.

I. INSTALLATION

The following information provides the proper installation procedures for an efficient and safe
operation. Please follow the recommendations closely. As always, adequate working space,
walkways, and handrails should by considered.

A. LOCATION AND SUPPORT

The BRANDT LM-3 Full-Flo Shaker incorporates an oil field type skid.
IMPORTANT: Lifting the unit by means other than those shown in Figure 6 may result
damage to the unit. It is not necessary to weld the unit(s) to the support structure, as little
or no vibration is transmitted through the coil spring suspension system. The support
structure must be designed to support the dead weight of the unit, 5,550 lbs. (2,518 kg),
plus a fluid load of 3,000 lbs (1,360 kg), for a total weight of 8,550 lbs. (3,878 kg) per
unit.

1. The unit(s) must be level in both directions to ensure even fluid distribution.
2. Do not weld or attach discharge troughs to the vibrating deck.
3. Do not install discharge trough above bottom of shaker skid.
4. Do not weld or attach a spray system directly to the vibration screen basket.

B. FLOW LINE CONNECTION

The flow line should end near the bottom (and center) of the possum belly, regardless of
the type of feed: at the back, the side, or over the top of the possum belly. This will
minimize settling of the larger solids. A solids buildup in the possum belly results in a
volume reduction. The drop or slope of the flow line should be a minimum of 1:10, or
one foot of drop for each ten feet of the flow line.

The preferred hookup between shakers is to use “Y” or “T” connections between
two or more shakers. Use valves to regulate flow to each shaker. This way, one shaker
can still function while changing a screen or repairing the other.

Adequate space between shakers (no less than 18”) should be provided for changing
screens. Catwalks or walkarounds should also be installed for easy access to entire
shaker. This will increase the chances of proper maintenance.

SECTION THREE - UNIT PREPARATION

IMPORTANT:

Read the following instructions carefully. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or
damage to the unit.

A. Remove the four (4 ea.) shipping brackets and store in a safe place for reuse.

B. Remove the discharge gate(s) on either or both sides of the BRANDT Full-Flo for
mud returns to the sand trap or desired compartment. Do not bypass the degasser suction
compartment.

C. Remove the right counterweight cover and the belt guard cover plate and check:

1. Pulley alignment - end to end with a straight edge.

2. Nuts and bolts on pulleys, counterweights, bearing flanges.

3. BELT TENSIONING PROCEDURE – For 60 Hz machine, check proper belt

tension by placing the fingers of one hand over the top of the belt where it spans
the two outermost pulleys and grasping the middle pulley with the thumb. See
Figure 8 on page 20. Using firm hand pressure (not body weight), pull the belt
downward. The belt should be tensioned so that it can just barely be brought in
contact with the belt running over the top of the middle pulley. Belt tension is
critical, if too loose the pulleys slip timing, if too tight, premature motor failure
can result. For a 50 Hz machine, instead of bringing the belt in contact with the
belt over the middle pulley, leave a ¼” space.

4. Counterweight timing and alignment - see Section Six.

5. Rotate pulleys to ensure free rotation.

6. Replace cover, nuts and lock washers.

D. Tighten ALL nuts, bolts, and fasteners on shaker, particularly those on the motor
support and adjustment plates and vibrating basket. ALL nuts and bolts on the unit
should be assembled with lock washers (other than screen tension bolts).

E. Check to ensure the basket incline setting is the same on both sides and the safety pins
are properly inserted.

F. You are now ready to connect power (see below) and install screens (see below).

8
I. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Carefully proceed through this list to assure proper and safe operation of the unit(s):

A. Determine rig voltage supplied to unit.

B. Disconnect power from power supply to unit.

C. Install power supply cable to Allen-Bradley starter.

D. Install proper heaters (3 ea.) in A-B starter box to match voltage supply.

E. The Junction box on the motor is pre-wired and should be checked for proper voltage
and loose connections.

F. Turn on power supply to unit.

G. Push start button on AB starter box.

NOTE: The pulley cover will not completely silence belt noise. However, if you
hear any metal-to-metal contact or unusual noise, shut off the unit immediately
for corrective measures.

H. To shut down the unit, simply push the “OFF” button.

I. IMPORTANT - Wire connections or wire nuts in motor junction box must not be
allowed to touch the inside of the J-box. Each connection should be (1) taped separately,
(2) all wires bundled and taped, and (3) foam type packing placed around bundled wires.

9
II. SCREEN INSTALLATION

Screen installation requires little time and effort. However, if you do not follow these basic
steps, the result may be poor screen life and solids bypassing into the active system.

A. Open bypass if mud is being circulated.

B. While the shaker is running, wash down the screen.

C. Shut down shaker.

D. Back off the four (4 ea.) coupling nuts on both draw bars - do not remove the nuts
completely. Replace any missing or damaged bolts, spacers or nuts or it will result in
poor screen life.

E. Turn “T” bolt 90 degrees and push through draw bar slot - remove draw bars.

F. Remove screen panel.

G. Important: Wash down panel area prior to installing new screen.

H. Replace worn or missing rubber cushions. (Do not operate machine without ALL
rubber cushions in place.)

I. Carefully lay in new panel.

J. Important: Do not bend a kink in screen panel.

K. Important: Install and tighten draw bar on motor side first. There is a strip of square
bar stock (1/2 in. x 1/2 in.) welded along the hook strip edge to serve as an alignment
guide. The screen panel must be aligned and tightened on motor side first.

L. Check to see that the screen panel edges are centered over the transverse front and
back edge seals.

M. Tighten the opposite draw bar.

N. To avoid improper screen tensioning, retighten all tensioning nuts after fifteen (15)
minutes of running. This can be done with unit running.

10
III. OPERATION

The following sections will provide instructions for normal operation. The only changes or
adjustments which can be made are screen mesh and basket angle. These adjustments will
depend upon your specified drilling parameters, such as circulating volume, mud viscosity,
penetration rate, etc... “Rules of thumb” for screen selection are discussed below in Section
Five.

A. Angle of basket - The elevators adjust the discharge end of the vibrating basket from
flat zero (0) degrees to an uphill five (5) degrees. CAUTION: Do not raise or lower one
side more than two (2) degrees at a time without adjusting the opposite side. It is
recommended that the basket be set at three (3) degrees for normal conditions. This
setting allows for an additional two (2) degrees uphill incline to handle an increase of
solids from bottoms up, surges, or an increased rate of penetration. Note: Raising the
deck angle moves the liquid pool towards the back of the shaker. Gumbo and sticky
clays generally convey better at zero (0) degrees (or flat).

B. Maximum efficiency setting - maximizing the mud conditioning efficiency is easily

achieved. Processing using the 100 percent of the flow using the finest mesh screen
possible is the basic objective. Cuttings are generally dry enough for most applications
with the end or “horseshoe” of the liquid pool approximately one-third (1/3) onto the end
screen.

C. BRANDT recommends using the same mesh screen for all three panel sections. The
cut point will normally be only as good as the coarsest mesh screen. If you install a
coarser mesh screen for any reason, it should be installed at the discharge end.

D. If the screens plug with sand, there are several methods by which the screen may be
unplugged. If the screens are in the unit, rub the screens in a circular motion with a cloth
rag or cloth gloves. Or, you may try blowing out the solids with high pressure air or
water from the bottom. The screens must be removed for this. Caution: Never use a
wire or stiff fiber brush on the screens. Near size blinding can be best corrected by
screening up to a finer screen.

Salt water mud will sometimes allow calcium deposits to coat the wires in the screen. As
the layer of calcium increases in thickness around the wires, the openings become
plugged off. This usually results in flooding. Steam cleaning will usually remove the
calcium deposits. Other mud additives or chemicals which coat the screen wires can
sometimes be removed with diluted muratic acid. Use five (5) parts water to one (1) part
muratic acid to wipe off screens. Flush screens and unit with water immediately after
using. Caution: Muratic acid will cause skin and/or eye burns. Flush with water if skin,
eye, or clothes contact is made.

11
E. If a spray wash system is added to the unit, do not weld brackets, gusset, clips, pipe,
etc. to the basket itself. If necessary, weld support system for the spray to the skid.
Welding to the basket can cause basket failure and reduce conveyance efficiency.

12
SECTION FOUR - MAINTENANCE

The BRANDT Full-Flo Shaker requires very little maintenance. However, there are several
maintenance checks which, if done on a regular basis, will provide extended service and
performance.

I. LUBRICATION

The spherical roller bearings at each shaft end (4 ea.) will provide thousands of hours of
dependable service if lubricated on a regular basis with the proper lubricant. There is a
separate grease fitting located adjacent to each bearing (outside the weight covers).

A. Shaft bearings - 10 shots of grease every three (3) days. Chevron SRI-2 or equal.
See section 10 for additional options..

B. Bypass sleeve -5 shots every two (2) week.

C. Elevator thrust bearings - 5 shots every week.

D. Elevator acme threaded stems - Wipe on grease daily, if required.

E. Electric motor - No lubrication is required (sealed bearings).

II. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE CHECKS

A. Screen “T” bolts/coupling nuts - Check daily for tightness and replace any bent “T”
bolts.

B. Timing belt tension - Belt should run between the flanges on the pulleys. If there are
signs of belt wear on teeth or edges, the pulleys are either misaligned or belt is too loose.
Check weekly for proper tension.

C. Bypass gate - Check daily to ensure a positive seal. Gravel, rocks, or hard cuttings
lodged under the bypass gate may restrict a positive seal and solids bypassing will occur.

D. Elevator pins - Pins should be inserted in proper holes to provide a level deck and
take the load off of the stem assembly.

13
E. Discharge skirt - Check to ensure the rubber discharge skirt is not pushed back into
the unders compartment. This will allow solids to re-enter the active mud system.

F. Unders compartment - Clean out any solids buildup which may cause the vibrating
deck to bottom out or interfere with screening.

G. Screen - Check for torn screens. Repair or replace.

H. Screen rubbers - Check crown and flat rubbers for damage or wear. Replace as
needed.

I. Nuts, bolts, fasteners - Ensure all nuts, bolts, and lock washers are in place and tight,
particularly on the motor base assembly and vibrating deck.

J. Listen for any loud or unusual noise particularly bearing squeal any metal to metal
contact.

14
SECTION FIVE - GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS & INFORMATION

A. Gumbo or sticky clays generally convey better on finer mesh screens (50’s, 70’s and
80’s) rather than coarse mesh screens (20’s, 30’s and 40’s). Finer mesh screens provide a
much smoother surface than coarse mesh. Gumbo and clay tend to plug the larger
openings much more readily. Even though it appears finer mesh screens would not
handle the volume, much of the time screening finer provides an immediate solution.

B. Experiment with the basket elevators to determine the best setting. An industry-first,
this fast and simple adjustment can be made while the unit is operating. Again, elevate
each side no more than two (2) degrees at a time.

C. The weir diverter plates determine how and where the mud will drop onto the
dispersion plate and screens. Widening or pinching down the weir opening often causes
the liquid “horseshoe” to either move forward or recede. Maximum efficiency is usually
obtained by receding the liquid “horseshoe”.

D. Frequently check for bypassing under the bypass gate during a connection. Gravel or
hard cuttings may not allow the bypass gate to provide a positive seal.

E. Adding replacement or makeup water while drilling is often required. Watering back
into the possum belly generally reduces the mud viscosity and allows more efficient
screening.

F. Running the Full-Flo Shaker with dry screens results in premature screen failure.
Lower the deck angle or install finer mesh screens to extend the liquid pool.

G. Do not allow substantial amounts of mud to build up inside the vibrating deck. This
may affect the unit’s performance. A buildup of solids on or around the motor may cause
overheating.

H. If solids being discarded are too wet or channeling to the sides of the end screen, a
1/2” wide bead of silicone applied to a clean dry screen will generally help. To do this,
see Figure 7.

I. The timing belt will whine loudly if installed too tight. This will result in motor
bearing failure.

J. Occasionally check basket openings for bottoming-out. Worn or weak springs may
allow the vibrating deck to bottom-out. This will soon cause damage to the unit.
Replace springs immediately.

15
K. The flat edge seals (transverse and side seals) provide a positive seal around the
screen panel. Worn or missing flat seals will result in solids bypassing into the active
system.

L. Always wash down screens before shutting down the unit for any length of time or
before storing the screens.

M. The basket elevators can be used to compensate for unlevel tanks or stands.
However, it is recommended that the unit be shimmed, particularly if the job runs in this
mode for any length of time. Otherwise, the basket load will be on the elevator threaded
stem and not on the safety elevator pin. Relying on the locator pins is also faster and
ensures a level screening area when changing basket angles.

N. Walking or laying tools on the screens will generally result in screen damage.

SECTION SIX - REPAIR

This section covers those unscheduled repairs which can be made in the field without special
tools.

I. SCREEN TENSIONING COMPONENTS

No one component of this system is particularly prone to failure. In order to replace a “T” bolt,
the draw bar has to be removed.

II. DRIVE AND VIBRATOR SYSTEM

The only field repairs to the drive and vibrator system are the replacement of the motor, a worn
bearing, a shaft or a belt.

III. MOTOR REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE

A. Turn off power supply.

B. Remove the drive side belt guard cover.

C. Loosen all four (4) 1/2” nuts under the motor slide plate and the belt tensioning bolt
and slide the motor towards the shafts to slacken the belt.

D. Remove the belt.

E. Remove the sheave from the motor shaft.

F. Remove four (4) nuts holding motor to slider plate.

G. Remove motor and replace with new one. (Make sure that new motor has holes that
are drilled out to 9/16 diameter).

H. Tighten nuts on motor base.

I. Put sheave on the motor shaft.

J. IMPORTANT: Follow “Timing of counterweights” in SECTION SIX, Item IV to

ensure proper operation and to avoid injury to personnel.

17
NOTE: BRANDT vibrator bearings are pressed into their housings with special equipment. For
this reason, field repair should not be attempted on the vibrator bearing assembly - get a new
one. Replace the entire assembly as unit.

Bearing or shaft replacement procedure:

A. Turn of power supply to shaker.

B. Remove the drive side belt guard cover.

C. Loosen all four 1/2” nuts under the motor slider plate and the belt tensioning bolt and
slide the motor towards the shafts to slacken the belt.

D. Remove the belt.

E. Remove the sheave from the motor shaft.

F. Remove the belt guard and the counterweight cover.

G. Remove the sheave, bushing, and the counterweight from the shaft to be replaced.
Remove the shaft key.

H. On the drive side, unbolt and remove the bearing cap. The bearing should then be
visible.

I. Using appropriate snap ring pliers, remove the snap ring from the shaft.

J. Two (2) 1/2” bolts can be screwed into the tapped holes on the bearing bracket to help
pull the bracket out of the mounting ring.

K. Carefully remove the loose bearing bracket assembly. Do not score the shaft.

L. On the floating side, remove the bearing bracket assembly by repeating Steps C - K.
There is no snap ring on this side, so ignore Step F.

M. The vibrator shaft should now be free and laying in the shaft tube. Remove any
excess grease or debris found inside the tube.

At this point, the vibrator shaft or vibrator bearing assemblies can be replaced with new
ones. Reinstallation is basically a reverse of the preceding steps with the following
exceptions:

N. The journals of the shaft or replacement shaft and the taper lock bushings are to be
greased with an aluminum base grease prior to reinstallation.

O. Do not forget to place O-rings around the bearing bracket and the bearing cap.

18
 P. If new vibrator bearing assemblies are used, each bearing should be greased with fifty
(50) shots of grease.

Q. Tighten the eight (8) 1/2” bolts to 80 ft/lbs.

R. Also, the drive belt can be replaced at the same time; however, the proper timing
procedure is described in the next chapter.

IV. TIMING OF COUNTERWEIGHTS

The key to the linear motion of the BRANDT LM-3 Full-Flo Shaker is the proper timing of the
rotation of the two shafts. If the timing is not correct, the motion of the shaker is no longer
linear, therefore affecting the performance of the unit.

Follow these steps to establish a proper timing when installing a new belt or reinstalling an old
belt:

A. Loosen all four (4) 1/2” nuts and the belt tensioning bolt of the motor sliding plate
and push the motor all the way toward the shafts.

B. With the belt guard in place and the belt guard cover removed, remove old belt, if not
already removed by pulling it away from the unflanged center pulley.

C. Install new belt around the two (2) flanged pulleys.

D. Hold the two (2) shafts so that the straight top sections of the two (2) counterweights
are on a straight line. See Figure 8.

E. While holding the shafts in place, push the belt over the unflanged pulley.

F. Slightly tighten the slider plate bolts, then carefully rotate the belt tensioning bolt to
pull the motor away from the shafts to increase belt tension.

G. Check belt tension after tightening the slider plate nuts since this will sometimes
increase belt tension.

H. Tighten the jam nut on the belt tensioning bolt and replace the belt guard cover and
tighten ALL bolts.

19

20
V. VARYING VIBRATING BASKET AMPLITUDE

The amplitude of the BRANDT LM-3 Mud Conditioner basket has been set at the factory to
provide maximum solids conveyance and screen life under a broad range of operating
conditions. It is possible, however, to decrease or increase the amplitude to accommodate
special operating requirements.

IMPORTANT: Since increasing the amplitude will have a negative effect on the screen life, as
well as on the bearings and basket life, contact your nearest BRANDT representative for further
information prior to increasing the amplitude.

Follow these steps to change the vibrating basket amplitude:

A. Loosen all four (4) 1/2” nuts and the belt tensioning bolt of the motor sliding plate
and push the all way toward the shafts.

B. With the belt guard in place and the belt guard cover removed, remove belt and
loosen all three (3) pulleys from their bushings.

C. Remove the belt guard, pulleys, and the bushings from the vibrator shaft.

D. The two (2) drive side counterweight assemblies are now accessible and the quantity
of weight plates can be changed by removing the three (3) 1/2” nuts on each
counterweight bracket.

E. Three (3) 1/4” thick counterweight plates are installed by the factory, and by reducing
the number of plates, the amplitude will be reduced approximately by twenty-five percent
(25%) per each 1/4” plate. Increasing the number of plates will increase the amplitude.

WARNING: Do not exceed four (4) 1/4” thick counterweight plates on each
counterweight bracket or serious structural damage to the vibrating basket can occur.

F. To change the plates on the opposite side of the basket, simply remove the cover and
the counterweights are readily accessible.

IMPORTANT: Make sure that all four (4) counterweight brackets have the same number
of the same type of counterweight plates and the nuts are properly tightened.

G. When reassembling the bushings, pulleys, and covers follow the instructions in
Section Six, Item III and IV.

VI. SCREEN PATCHING AND REPAIR

21
The life of the shaker screens can be increased and money saved by patching and reusing torn
panels.

IF SCREEN PATCHES ARE AVAILABLE : TO FIX TORN PANELS - FOLLOW THESE

STEPS:

A. Stop flow to shaker with torn screen by use of bypass gate or valve.

B. Wash down screens so they are clean.

C. Turn off shaker.

D. Place appropriate patch over torn panel.

E. Tighten bolts against the metal backing strips.

F. Start shaker.

G. Return flow to shaker.

IF NO PATCHES ARE AVAILABLE: SILICONE OR “LIQUID STEEL” CAN BE USED TO

TEMPORARILY FIX A TORN PANEL - FOLLOW THESE STEPS TO PATCH WITH
SILICONE.

1. Follow steps A - C above.

2. Dry off screen as much as possible.

3. Apply thick layer of silicone or liquid steel to torn panel.

4. Allow to dry for at least 1/2 hour.

5. Start shaker.

6. Return flow to shaker.

18.8.0 LM-3 FULL-FLO SHAKER LUBRICATION

The spherical roller bearing at each shaft end (4 each) will provide thousands of hours
of dependable service if lubricated on a regular basis with the proper lubricant. There
is a separate grease fitting located adjacent to each bearing (outside the weight
covers).

18.8.1 SHAFT BEARINGS

Add ten (10) strokes of grease every three (3) days. Use Chevron industrial Medium
grease or equivalent.

18.8.2 BY-PASS SLEEVE

Use five (5) strokes of grease every two (2) weeks.

18.8.3 ELEVATOR THRUST BEARING

Use five (5) strokes of grease every week.

18.8.4 ELEVATOR ACME THREADED STEMS

Wipe on grease daily, if required.

18.8.5 ELECTRIC MOTOR

No lubrication is required (sealed bearing).

18.8.6 LUBRICATION MATERIAL

First choice: Chevron SRI-2

Second choice: Texaco Premium RB

Shell Doluim - R
Amoco Rycon Premium
Exxon Unirex N2
Chevron Industrial Medium (NLGI-2)
Shell MP 2

18.9.0 RUN - IN TEST FOR LM-3 FULL-FLO SHAKER MOTION SYSTEM

37
18.9.1 The bearing shall be press fitted into the housing. Sufficient grease shall be put into
the bearing cavity and the bearing cap provide bearing lubrication sufficient for the
run-in test.

18.9.2 Run the shaker on either voltage connection (if dual volt motor) and add ten (10)
strokes of grease while running.

18.9.3 Run for ten (10) minutes and add an additional ten (10) strokes of grease, check
bearing temperature.

18.9.4 Run for thirty (30) minutes and check bearing temperature.

18.9.5 Continue running for thirty (30) more minutes, check bearing temperature.

18.9.6 Check amp reading at start up after three (3) minutes, after ten (10) minutes, after
thirty (30) minutes and before test completion. Keep record of amp reading and
bearing temperature.

18.10.0 LM-3 FULL-FLO SHAKER RUN-IN TEST AFTER MAJOR REFURB AND/OR
MOTION SYSTEM BEARING CHANGE

18.10.1 The procedure to be followed for the run-in test after major refurbing work and/or
after a bearing change of the Motion System shall be the same as described in 18.9.0.
(Run-in test for LM-3 FULL-FLO SHAKER).

18.10.2 The bearing cap shall be bolted through the bearing housing onto the Motion System
with 80 foot/lbs. using the following bolt tightening procedure. Take any bolt of the
eight (8) bearing housing bolts as bolt one (1) and number them one (1) to eight (8) in
sequence. Tighten bolt one (1) with a ratchet, short handle wrench or air ratchet at
low air pressure (approximately 50-70 foot/lbs.) Then tighten bolt five (5) as
described as above. Then tighten bolt two (2), then bolt six (6), then bolt three (3),
and then bolt seven (7), etc. as described. Then tighten all bolts in a circular
sequence to 80 ft-# and repeat in the opposite direction in a circular sequence.
Complete Motion System Assembly.

19.1.0 STORAGE OF BRANDT LM-3 FULL-FLO SHAKER.

19.1.1 The following are the recommended procedures to store BRANDT equipment.
Proper storage will prolong the life of the machine and its components.

19.1.2 Perform maintenance every 90 days.

19.2.0 STORAGE: FOR LM-3 SHAKER WITH POWER AVAILABLE.

19.2.1 The ideal situation to store LM3 shakers would be in a cool, dry place with the ability
to test the unit for three (3) hours.

19.2.2 Shipping brackets will remain on shaker at all times while in storage. The only
exception is when the shaker is tested once a month. After the test, the shipping
brackets should be put back in place.

19.2.3 Test the shaker and grease the bearings as described in 18.9.0.

19.2.4 Grease all other areas as described in 18.8.0.

19.2.5 A thick layer of grease should be maintained on the elevator acme thread stems for
the duration of storage.

19.2.6 After the test, remove power source so that the electrical line is void of current.
Remove starter box cover and spray the components with water displacing solvent
(i.e., WD-40). Put starter box cover back on tightly. Keep all other connections
intact.

19.2.7 If power source cable is removed from the starter box top coupling, replace the cable
with a water resistant material. The coupling must be sealed at all times.

19.2.8 If outdoors, remove all basket rubbers and store in cool, dry place.

19.3.0 STORAGE FOR LM-3 SHAKER WITH NO POWER AVAILABLE.

19.3.1 Cover shaker with protective tarp if possible.

19.3.2 Shipping brackets will remain on LM3 at all times.

19.3.3 Grease areas as described in 19.2.4 and 19.2.5.

19.3.4 Follow steps 19.2.6 and 19.2.7.

19.3.5 Remove all basket rubbers and drive belt from shaker and store in cool, dry place.

19.4.0 STARTUP AFTER THREE (3) OR MORE MONTHS OF INACTIVITY

39
19.4.1 Glue rubbers back on basket using 3M spray glue.

19.4.2 Install drive belt as per instructions in Operation Manual.

19.4.3 Remove the four (4) bearing caps and dissolve old grease with solvent.
